Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue, MD/VA/DC:
New Girl Pigs and a pair! ALL PIGS SPAYED AND NEUTERED! (Post on males to follow).
This is the fabulous rescue for which I foster, and they are always looking for
new foster homes. I'm going to cheat and just quote their bios from their site.
UPDATE:
Sugar Lips is six months old. "What a sweet face on this little girl. Those little pig lips look like shes just been nibbling on a powdered sugar confection. While we don't think that would be a great idea for any of our pigs one can always imagine. Sugar Lips will need to be adopted as a friend for your guinea pig or with one of ours. She is a young lively girl that will need someone to romp with."
Cinnamon is one year old. "This is a sweet natured pig that was taken into our rescue with a new litter. Much to our surprise she was already pregnant again. I think this girl needs a long vacation and a forever home with lots of hugs and cuddles."
Fawn is six months old. "Fawn is a lively youngster that just loves to get out and run around at floor time. Shes not afraid to let you know when it's dinner time either. A tad shy with people still she has no problem bossing around her cage mates. She does enjoy having someone to boss around so she will need to be adopted with one of our pigs or as a friend for yours."
ADOPTED! Fudge is five months old. "This girl is super fast. We probably should have named her Stealth. She likes running with her cage mate Cali and will need to be adopted with another pig or as a companion to yours."
ADOPTED! Cali is five months old. "Cali has markings much like a calico cat. She also looks totally different from each side. She likes to play with her cage mate Fudge and just adores the rattle of veggie bags. This sweet young girl needs a forever home with a piggy to play with as well as a human or two to fall in love with."
Cupid is four months old. "Cupid was born in our care the day before valentines days. She is a sweet lively girl and will need a companion pig to play and grow with. She will be a wonderful friend for your pig or adopt her with another one of ours."
ADOPTED! Gilda is a four month old crested short hair. "Gilda is the sister of Angus and koogan. The trio was dropped-off at the shelter with their mom when they were only a week old. Gilda loves other pigs and loves to be held, but is not active within her cage. She must be adopted with another pig."
UPDATE:
Star is a nine month old abby girl. "Star is a beautiful, multicolored Abbysinian who came to MGPR still nursing her two babies, Leon and Michelle. Star loves to romp in the grass with her two babies, and is happy to eat most anything you give her. At first she was a bit shy, but has grown more and more calm, allowing the adoring neighborhood children to pet her. Ideally, she would be adopted out with Michelle, but at the very least as one of a pair."
ADOPTED! Miss Marple is a former foster of mine! She's a four month old girl. I named her Miss Marple because she's so tiny and curious and cute. "Miss Marple is a beautiful girl with remarkable coloring. Malnourished when we took her in, Miss Marple will most likely be on the small side for her entire life. However she has developed into a true cuddle bug with a great out going personality."
Wonka and Tate are a five month old male and female pair, and they "are a wonderfully silly pair!"
ADOPTED! Fluffy is a one year old guinea pig. "Fluffy is a sweet girl with a nice easy going personality. Named after the hugely popular children's books "Fluffy, the Classroom Guinea Pig". She too is a star. She helped represent Balt. Co. Humane Society on one of their tv appearances."
Snowball is a snuggle bug that just loves to cuddle up for lap time. She very much likes the company of other pigs and must be adopted as a companion to yours or with one of ours. She is one year old.
ADOPTED! Sandy has a sweet calm personality. Shes loves lap time and floor time and lots of fresh veggies. She will make a great companion for your male or one of ours. P.S. She also loves a good chin scratch. She is eight months old.
ADOPTED! Isadora Is adorable!!!!! This sweet beauty was born in our care. She is the spitting image of her mother right down to the eye liner around those beautiful eyes. She is playful and active and full of fun. She is more than ready for her very own forever home and a piggy friend to share it with. She can not be adopted as a single. She is two months old and crested!
MY PERSONAL THREE FOSTERS!
Tizzy is a whirlwind of a piggy! She is a very active girl who loves to popcorn and play "piggy spy" with her friends during floor time. Tizzy would be best suited for a guinea-experienced home, and should not be adopted to a home with young children. Lettuce leaves be warned: Tizzy is on the prowl! UPDATE: Tizzy is becoming a total lap pig. Tizzy is five months old
ADOPTED! Hildegard von Beaver-Pig is eight months old. "Hildy is a guinea pig superstar! She has soft, fluffy fur and loves to be pet, so long as you don't mind her climbing all over you. She is a popcorning maniac and absolutely loves floortime. After just a few days with her we knew she must be guinea pig royalty, and so she got her surname. She must be adopted with another guinea pig. She appears to be the mother of Tizzy."
Aimé is a sweetheart piggy girl, who loves lap time as much as floor time, and she loves floor time! She is a champion popcorner, and can't wait to have a pig companion with whom to race and cuddle. Aimé cannot be an only pig. She is six months old.
Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *
